MONCTON, N.B. – Ann Marie Reinhart was enjoying a peaceful day’s fishing near southern New Brunswick’s Kingston Peninsula when a sound between a howl and a scream tore through the air.
Birds fell silent, she said, in response to the four eerie calls that sounded like they came from two distinct sources.
“It was not of any animal I’ve ever heard, and I spent a lot of time in the woods,” Reinhart said, though she had little doubt about the creatures behind the noise.
A group of mostly liberal white women were quick to raise their glass in a toast to “being racist” when cajoled into doing so by an undercover man-bun-wearing conservative podcaster Matt Walsh.
Walsh crashed a progressive supper club Race2Dinner commiseration session last year for his upcoming documentary “Am I Racist.” Those dinners, which reportedly cost women up to $5,000, feature two-hour-long “honest” — many say self-loathing — conversations about race typically with eight guests.
A resident of the St-Laurent borough who admitted to sexually abusing six women and two girls over the course of 13 months will probably be deported after Quebec Superior Court rejected his appeal of his 16-month sentence.
… In the appeal, Akra argued that St-Onge did not properly weigh the aggravating factors in his case versus the mitigating factors, including his claim that there was no sexual dimension involved in his crimes. Akra argued he was having difficulty adapting to life in Canada and was working in an environment where he felt he was denigrated.
While determining the sentence, St-Onge noted Akra’s denial that there was a sexual dimension to his crimes and how it contradicted the evidence, including how he told one victim: “You’re so sexy, I want to pleasure you.”
Teachers will be taught to challenge “whiteness” in lessons.
Guidance has been created for teacher-training courses, to ensure future educators are “anti-racist” and prepared to implement this in the classroom.
Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.
The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.
Money woes, harassment pose barriers to diversifying Ont. politics, study finds
New research is highlighting harassment and a lack of financial resources as two common barriers for diverse candidates in Ontario municipal politics.
Titled Mapping the Experiences of Diverse Candidates Running for Municipal Office in Ontario, the project was commissioned by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and released during their annual conference in Ottawa earlier this month.
Its results were compiled from a mix of approaches, including interviews, survey responses and focus groups. There were a total of 118 participants.
Apparently we should be footing the bill for “minority candidates.”
A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing “queer theory” was essential to that agenda as well as important to America’s national security.
The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported “White supremacy” in the nuclear field as well as “queering nuclear weapons” as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

Bomb threats sent to dozens of synagogues and other Jewish institutions in Canada this week have left some community members shaken, with several Jewish Canadians telling CBC News they’ve recently experienced antisemitism on a level they haven’t seen before and changed how they go about their daily lives.
Several respondents to a CBC News request for people to share their experiences did not feel comfortable telling their stories on the record out of concern for their safety and that of their families.
The GTA is about 10% Islamist so there’s really no place to hide.
And the rest of the region’s diverse 3rd World settlers don’t really give a crap having no connection to Canada or western history and values.
Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville cautioned Democrats against falling into a false sense of security as polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading the race against former President Donald Trump.
The longtime Democratic strategist warned Democrats during Friday night’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” that while Harris is currently polling ahead of Trump, she will have to work harder to win the Electoral College.
OTTAWA — On the face of it, Ahnaf Zahin and Taylor Stuart don’t have much in common.

Stuart is 37, grew up in Kamloops, B.C., and is an air ambulance pilot in Vancouver.
Canada suffers from Uniparty Syndrome, a permanent political class of pols and crony capitalists who along with an ever growing bureaucracy devour our rights and freedoms.
Russian commandos quashed a mutiny at a southern Russian prison on Friday, killing the attackers and freeing their hostages, according to the local governor.
Inmates claiming to be motivated by radical Islam and armed with makeshift knives and an explosive vest briefly took control of Penal Colony No. 19 in the southern Volgograd region, according to videos posted on social media and verified by The New York Times.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with his ministers in Halifax on Sunday for the annual cabinet retreat, a gathering that comes after a year of dire polling for the government and disquiet among some Liberal MPs.
Some of those MPs are now calling for big changes — and for the prime minister to publicly show signs of contrition.
Cabinet is meeting for three days and is expected to tackle pocketbook issues and seek to strengthen Canada’s relationship with the United States ahead of the House of Commons’ return in September.
Nothing is going to turn LPC/NDP fortunes around.
The investigation into a man suspected of carrying out deadly stabbings at a festival in the western German city of Solingen is now in the hands of federal prosecutors as being a case of suspected terrorism, a police spokesperson said on Sunday.
The attacks on Friday evening, in which three people died and eight were injured, has been claimed by the extremist “Islamic State” (IS) group. The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is now examining whether a suspect who handed himself in on Saturday evening has links with the terrorist organization.
Police said the suspect, identified as a 26-year-old Syrian man, had admitted responsibility for the attack and was currently being questioned. German news magazine Spiegel reported that the suspect came to Germany in 2022 as a refugee and applied for asylum in the city of Bielefeld.
New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s fed up with the Liberals because the Trudeau cabinet decided to send the lockout/strike affecting the country’s two major railways to binding arbitration. Singh would have preferred the work stoppage be settled at the bargaining table rather than at a Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) hearing.
Gaza is not only a problem for the Israelis but for much of the world as well. It is a telling fact that no Arab states have opened their doors to Gazan refugees, recognizing as did Jordan in 1970 during the Black September movement that the Palestinians were a destabilizing force. Jordan expelled the cohort to Lebanon where it has since effectively destroyed the country. The surrounding Arab states are no fools and want nothing to do with Gaza. To counter their indifference, the ever-credulous West has taken up the slack out of “compassion” or political calculation — more grateful voters.
Against the backdrop of a record number of Atlantic Canadians voicing dissatisfaction with the Liberal government’s performance, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet will gather in Halifax for a crucial three-day retreat.
The retreat will focus on strategizing for the fall sitting of Parliament with key agenda items including the Liberal-NDP supply-and-confidence agreement, and Canada-U.S. relations.
